I forgot to tell you that in some places you must pay much attention to your property.Or you will cost your life.But many places is still safe enough if you don't go out at mid-night.

All I truly know about china is that you should take me with you. I can carry the luggage if nothing else.

I was wondering can't you take that course right here in U.S. I don't know where you are from but, I get a lot of email about Feng-shui magic. I even got a Lucky Frog that was mailed to me.

Wall of china - Wall of china is said to be the only human made building visible from moon.
Great china is a country which is must watch in my list of countries to visit. So, I want to congratulate you first of all. I want to tell you something about chinese currency--The Chinese Yuan, denoted by CNY, is the official currency in China. Yuan in Chinese literally means a "round object" or "round coin" and is thus considered the base unit of a currency (for example, U.S. dollar is Mei yuan). From an international perspective, Yuan as an English word refers to the Renminbi (RMB¥, CN$). When pronounced correctly, the word "yuan" should sound like the English word "wren". One yuan is divided into 10 jiao or mao. One mao is divided into 10 fen. In Cantonese, jiao and fen are called ho and sin. The renminbi is the legal tender in mainland China and is issued by the People's Bank of China, the monetary authority of the People's Republic of China. Although the official ISO code is CNY, the currency is also commonly abbreviated "RMB." China's currency was once tightly pegged at 8.28 renminbi to one US dollar, making one yuan worth about twelve cents, and one jiao (or ten fen) worth about one cent. However, on July 21, 2005, China ended its decade old peg to the dollar to let the yuan fluctuate versus a basket of currencies. Regarding visiting places in china --1) Go to Lijiang in Yunnan Province. It is an Old Town with more than 800 years history. It is famous for its orderly system of waterways and bridges. It has been called the "Venice of the East". The residents are Naxi people. 2) Another good place for vacation is Hangzhou. It is the capital of Zhejiang province. It is not far from Shanghai, it takes 2 hours to Hangzhou from Shanghai by train. Hangzhou is also well-known for the beautiful West Lake. It is noted for the scenic beauty that blends naturally with many famous historical and cultural sites. Local food is excellent. Specialties are West Lake fish in vinegar sauce, Aunt Song's Fish Broth, Jiaohuazi Chicken, Dongpo Pork… Louwailou Restaurant is a famous restaurant by the lake. 3) Tibet is in west China with an average elevation of 4,900 m (16,000 ft), it is often called the "Roof of the World". The most famous place in Tibet is the Potala Palace in Lhasa of Tibet. Since Qinghai-Tibet Railway opened to traffic on July 1 2006 people can take train to Tibet now. The Qinghai-Tibet railway, the world's highest, runs 1,956 kilometers from Qinghai's provincial capital of Xining to Lhasa in Tibet. About 960 kilometers of it are at an altitude of 4,000 meters and more with the highest point being 5,072 meters above sea level. The rail link crosses deserts, gobi, marshes, wetland, snow capped mountains and meadow. So on the way you can take photos and view the beautiful scenery.
